Anyone sell on ebay or etsy or another online auction or selling place?

Wondering if these are worth venturing into. Ebay is annoying and people can be terrible on there, but people pay a ton of money on there for everything it seems. Wondering what other's experiences are. Anyone tried Etsy.com?

I've tried to access etsy a few times and it is UNGODLY slow to load. I ALWAYS close it before it loads. I have avoided ebay myself because there is an abundance of slings on there. I've considered putting up a Mei Tai once to see how it goes, but stuff seems to either go really cheap or really expensive.

I started on EWbay but don't tend to sell there anymore. I can't keep up with my site and the fees were killing me. I have a couple things on Etsy but have never sold anything there. I have sold some things on WAHM Chicks.

I've been on eBay for about 7 years and have only had a few bad experiences and they were always as a buyer, as a seller i've had nothing but smooth transactions. eBay is a GREAT way to advertise and get your name out there. When I sell on eBay I do it for the advertising (hyena is cheaper), it is good to get yourself on as many as you can. If I ever have time i'd put something on etsy as well just to get my name there, you know? Spread yourself out!

Ama, do you sell through an Ebay store, or just separate listings? I've only bought a few times and never sold, but I'm considering it...
